How to use your Philips nebulizer compressor
If using a facemask, hold it over
your mouth and nose whilst placing
the elastic strap around the back of
your head.
Your treatment may be paused
by turning o the compressor and
securely placing the nebulizer in
the holder.
If using a mouthpiece, place it
between your lips.
Turn o the compressor when
your nebulizer begins to make a
‘spluttering’ noise. Your treatment
has now nished.
Sit upright in a chair or in bed and
relax as much as possible. When
ready, turn on the compressor and
take normal steady breaths.

Notes:
• When using, always keep your
compressor on a rm surface
such as a table. Do not place your
compressor on the carpet oor to
avoid dust being drawn in.
• Be careful not to block the vents on
the outside of the compressor
• Keep the compressor clean and dust
free by wiping with a damp cloth
• There will be a small amount of
medication left in the nebulizer at
the end of your treatment. This is
perfectly normal.

Cleaning your Philips nebulizer
The following should help to keep your system working eectively and reliably. These cleaning instructions are
recommended for both the reusable and disposable version of the Philips SideStream nebulizer.
After every use, disconnect the
nebulizer from the tubing. Turn on
the compressor for a short period to
clear any moisture from the tubing.
Wash the nebulizer and mouthpiece
in warm, soapy water using regular
dishwashing liquid. Clear the ne
jet holes by rinsing under clean,
cold running water and shake o
any excess.
Remove the tubing and the
mouthpiece or facemask from the
nebulizer. Unscrew the nebulizer
into two parts.
It is essential that the nebulizer
parts are completely dry before
reassembly.
If using a facemask, wipe it with a
damp cloth.
Important: do not wash the tubing.
To maintain eectiveness, it is a
good idea to store nebulizer parts
between uses in a clean, dry,
environment.

Looking after your nebulizer
Cleaning your Philips nebulizer
It is important to change your tubing
and mouthpiece/facemask regularly.
To ensure optimum performance,
reusable nebulizers should be boiled
with two drops of dish washing liquid
for 10 minutes once a week.
Never use a cleaning brush or sharp
objects when cleaning because this
will damage the nebulizer.
